Masterpiece

according to hyperion this poem by Fyodor Tyutchev was the inspiration for the 4th sonata (pasting the translation I like best): Why moan, why wail you, wind of night, With such despair, such frenzied madness? Why is your voice now full of might, Now piteous and tinged with sadness? In tongue known to the heart, of pain Unknown to it for ever chanting, At times within it well-nigh frantic Sounds you awaken and insane. Sing not, O wind, your fearful song Of chaos, for the hungry spirit, Into night's world of shadows flung, Exults in it and strains to hear it. The bounds of mortal flesh 'twould fly And merge with boundless ocean sweeping. Take heed! Let slumbering tempests lie: Beneath them chaos stirs unsleeping.

Quite something for an "unserious recording"! :-)

I like the fact that hamelin really makes frases sound alive, but shouldn t this be a little less violent? I hear that lot of parts are confused even if powerful

Thank you! I can't wait to hear him play Feinberg's 3rd.
